Bennett bagged 1-10 for the Déise in their stunning comeback victory over Kilkenny which booked their place in the All-Ireland SHC final against Limerick.
The Ballysaggart star has been a consistent scoring outlet for Liam Cahill’s charges in 2020 as they seek to end a 61-year wait for Liam MacCarthy success this Sunday.
